You're absolutely right, magic Jack plugs in and magically carries data across 1,000's of miles, completely impervious to interference and data loss.

You appear to really be confused. Im just curious how your signal strength from upstairs to downstairs changes depending on where you put your modem? The only thing that would come into play there is if there were too many spliters or devices hooked up to your coax cable coming from the pole. I've used voip phones since 2006 or so. Had comcast (originally @home when I first got it) since 2000. Yet nothing you have said makes sense, and how would you run a phone through your router? Did they add phone jacks into routers now? The most common modem / phone setup for comcast right now is the Arris modem. I currently have an Arris modem sitting here for just my phone, and a new motorola sb6120 docsis 3.0 modem for my internet so I get my 50/10 service on a separate coax line I had them run in. Please explain how signal strength made it impossible for you to have your phoneline upstairs or downstairs or whatever it was you were trying to say.
Sounds like you got some green tech that knew nothing of what he spoke. Kind of like the one I had when I called into activate this new modem and he told me I would have to connect the two modems together by using an ethernet cord. LOL I told him he was an idiot and to connect me with someone that had a clue of what they were talking about. lol 6 minutes later I had it activated.
Reminds me of the At&T guy that came around a few weeks ago trying to sell me on their fiber service. Telling me that I couldn't be getting the speeds comcast told me I would get, and that it was "burst" only, even though this service is not burst its a constant speed down and up. Then the at and t guy tells me they have 18 down, and would not no matter what tell me the rated upload speed, and I found out they are instructed not to discuss upload speeds. lol I ended up telling the guy to fuck off and get out of my driveway. lol
